Ray’s BBQ Shack

Ray’s Real Pit BBQ Shack, “Smokin’ Good with a Whole Lotta Soul,” is a family owned and operated restaurant that has become a staple in Houston’s Third Ward and Riverside communities. Known for its hickory-smoked meats served with homemade sides and desserts all made fresh daily, the restaurant also serves burgers, salads, soups, po’boys, baked potatoes and fish and shrimp dinners in a casual and relaxed dining room.

Located at 4529 Old Spanish Trail in South Houston since January 2011, the soul food destination/barbecue hotspot is less than a mile from the Medical Center, University of Houston (main campus) and Texas Southern University. Hours of operation are Monday through Saturday, 11:00 a.m. – 8:00 p.m. and closed on Sunday. Ray’s offers drop-off and full-service catering for all occasions, providing reliable, professional service with consistently great food at a reasonable price.
